✨ ✨

"The doctor and staff exemplified compassion, empathy, and a level of knowledge that was comforting and re-assuring. I didn't feel like a number, I felt like a human being. I left feeling informed, hopeful, and like I had gained a little sense of control back. Overall I feel it's rare to find down to earth people being in positions of care in the healthcare umbrella, to have that be felt, and seen on every level was meaningful. We are grateful to have found AFCC."

This patient’s words are a powerful reminder of what compassionate care should feel like: supportive, down-to-earth, and truly human. At AFCC, we’re honored to walk alongside our patients on their fertility journeys—with empathy, expertise, and hope. 💜🤍

🤔 Have you ever found yourself typing “Am I infertile?” into the search bar? You’re not alone—and the answer isn’t always black and white.
⠀
When pregnancy doesn’t happen as expected, it’s natural to start questioning your body and your future. But infertility isn’t something you can self-diagnose—and it’s not a reflection of your worth or what you’ve done right or wrong.
⠀
We understand why this question can feel so heavy—and how to reframe it in a way that gives you clarity, not fear.

Whether you're just starting or already on your journey, AFCC is here to support you with answers, compassion, and hope. 💛

👶✨ What is third-party reproduction—and why do people choose it?

In this video, Dr. Eli Reshef breaks down the different types of third-party reproduction, including donor eggs, donor s***m, embryo donation, and gestational surrogacy. These paths to parenthood are used more often than you might think—and for many different reasons.

While third-party reproduction can be an option when someone can’t use their own eggs or s***m, that’s just one part of the story.

It’s also an option for:
🌈 LGBTQ+ individuals and couples
🧬 People with genetic conditions they don’t want to pass on
⏳ Those facing age-related fertility challenges
🎗️ Cancer survivors who’ve lost fertility due to treatment
💛 Individuals and couples who’ve tried other treatments without success

Whatever the reason, third-party reproduction can offer hope, connection, and a deeply personal path to growing a family.

🌟 Happy World Embryologist Day and World IVF Day! 🌟
